Defect: If the headlights are not properly aimed, the driver may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action: Kia will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the headlight aiming and replace the headlights, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began November 30, 2018. Owners may contact Kia customer service at 1-800-333-4542. Kia's number for this recall is SC171.
